#17: Discover The Extraordinary Hidden Within The Ordinary

Reflections

Since I began writing this journal, I’ve transformed myself into an archeologist of sorts, delving into the layers of my everyday life. At first, I found myself sifting through the day's events with great deliberation, carefully searching for the ‘good things’ worth immortalizing on the page. However, those moments shine brightly, standing out like an exuberant beacon in a foggy landscape. Or perhaps I should say they stick out like a radiantly cheerful thumb, waving enthusiastically for my attention.

Gratitude

Today's good thing reveals itself in the beauty of ordinary moments that we often overlook. As the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air this morning, I stood at the counter, savoring the ritual of making my morning cup. Suddenly, I felt a gentle presence behind me. Kevin had quietly tiptoed through the kitchen, his steps soft against the cool wood floor. With a warmth that radiated through the room, he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close for a sweet good morning snuggle. In that simple embrace, the world outside faded away, leaving just the two of us enveloped in a moment of pure connection.

This moment stands out vividly in my mind as the first memory I wanted to share in today’s post. It’s fascinating how the simple, everyday occurrences weave together to form the rich tapestry of our lives. Each seemingly mundane instance holds a sprinkle of magic, waiting to be recognized and appreciated. We just need to take a moment to open our eyes and hearts, allowing ourselves to discover the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary.

See you tomorrow!
